You NEED an LTC to buy a firearm? And ammo? That's insane. No bureaucrat(s) should wield that kind of power.
After 7 1/2 month... LTC in the mail

In New York City you can't own a rifle, shotgun or a handgun without a permit. That includes in your own home or on your own property. In the rest of the state you need a permit to own a handgun. Permits can take up to a year to get in NYC and cost several hundred dollars for each. Time for the rest of the country to make sure it does not happen to where you live. Here is what can happen if you ignore the issue Gun laws in New York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Like James K0UA I also live in Missouri, up until a few years ago we had t get a "Permit to Acquire a Concealable Firearm" in order to buy a handgun, but that was dropped and a provision for obtaining concealed carry endorsements was instituted, contrary to many states, Missouri has gotten more lenient in its gun laws, we are truly lucky.

Just renewed my LTC this spring. I have had a all legal purpose permit as long as I can remember with no legal matters other that a speeding ticket years ago
. We go to the town police chief give him $100.00 every three years and usually get permit in a month or so . This year they called me and told me to come in early as it was going to take longer. I did the paper work in Feb. due in April and was told I may not get it in time . I asked what happens if I do not get it before it runs out.
Was told not to use my guns and to keep them locked up in the house after April or they could be taken away for no permit.
Welcome to the GREAT state of Taxachusetts were freedom was won!!!

Yep, and when we got rid of the permit to purchase handguns, guess what? nothing bad happened. And when we instituted Concealed carry in 2004, nothing bad happened... blood did not "run in the streets" as a few worthless people said was going to happen, everything remained calm.. The permit to purchase handgun's thing was just a way for the Local Sheriff to ding every citizen $10 bucks every time they traded guns. And it was not uniform throughout the state, some counties it was 3 days to get your permit, and others you could just walk in and get the permit immediately. Most gun laws are stupid, capricious, and arbitrary abuses of official power. Thankfully here in Missouri, as 3R has pointed out, we have regained our senses and our rights.
I feel sorry for some of you folks back east and on the other coast, that have lost your rights. I am "sure" you all are so much safer, and crime free with your restrictive laws.

I picked up my license this past Tuesday. Took the class April 8th, had to make an appointment to turn in application at Sherriff's office (earliest I could get was May 30th), after that they took the full allotted 45 days to run the backround check. After it was approved (July 15th) I had to make an appointment to pick it up. Quickest I could get in was two weeks. July 30th I picked it up. Almost a 4 month wait in Carroll County Ohio.
Deputy said it was because of all the applications coming in from surrounding counties.

Yeah, I sure remember all the dire predictions and opposition by Holden, had to over ride his veto; no rise in crime, blood in the streets etc. just like in 87 when Florida passed their Shall Issue law.
Because of the ability to carry concealed in a vehicle most of my family have not bothered to get a permit.

Boy, im sure glad i dont live back east..or on the far side of the moon (Calif and Oregon).
Too much control over peoples lives and thoughts happen there. Needing a license to purchase ammo is insane. I can see an age requirement, but not a license.
control, control, control
The USA berates other countries that try to control the lives of their populous, then we go do the same to our people. Its truly sad

Yep, Mass is run by the Dems. For the life of me,I can not grasp why they are not voted out. Almost everyone I know complains about being pick pocketed by our state. Yet they keep electing tax aholic and control freak leaders.

It is my understanding that if you get caught in Mass with a handgun, and no permit, it is a mandatory 1 year in jail and $1000 fine. So if Tomtint had taken his pistol to the range to practice and had no permit... he would be in jail for 1 year, no questions asked. I had a friend in the CT state police, he delivered a prisoner to Mass, upon leaving the jail in Mass, the Mass state trooper took his weapon. Told him since he didn't have permit to carry in Mass he would have to take the gun away or arrest him for carrying without a permit since his official duties to deliver prisoner were complete. Mass state trooper followed him into CT and then returned his gun to him. It is a bit ridiculous.
